No signs of tiredness, only a quite strong mushroom smell that quickly dissipated after opening. The aromas palette was rather limited, strong animal scents dominated and after some time I though I could detect some incense emerging. The wine is still strong, very masculine with a little overload on the sugar side. Slightly dissociated, suggesting the wine has engaged in its (slow) decay curve. Length is good. Altogether, very drinkable and pleasurable, albeit not a monster of complexity.
